Life of a footballer is not easy.
High expectations.
Lots of pressure.
Big challenges.
He who does not realize it,
will not be ready for it
and will never become a pro player.
I'm Petar Golubovic,
winner of The Chance Serbia.
..and this is my story.
My biggest passion in life is football.
I love being on the pitch and competing,
so when I saw the invitation for The Chance on Facebook
I signed up.
At The Chance Serbia country trials we met Aleksandar Jankovic
mentor of The Chance.
Some of the best players from the clubs in Belgrade were there,
..but I played well
and made it through to the Country Finals in Kovilovo.
The competition was intense,
of the hundred players, only one would go through to the global finals.
And it was me!
Getting to meet some of the best players in the world was amazing.
..but I had to focus.
I was competing with a hundred other players from all over the world
for one of only sixteen spots on The Chance global tour.
It felt like a good sign to be made captain of my team for the final match,
..but I was still nervous going into the announcement dinner.
I made it!
I can't describe the feeling of being chosen as one of the final sixteen.
I've worked very hard to get here
and have made a lot of sacrifices to focus on football
..and now it's paying off.
I've just signed a pro contract with one of the top league teams from Serbia
and am getting ready to play some of the best teams in the world
on The Chance global tour.
Juve, Everton, Manchester United..
..are you ready for me?
I've got some lessons to learn..
..but maybe a few to teach as well.
I'm going to be the best defensive player in the world.
So for me..
..this is just the beginning.
